Car dealerships invest considerable resources in building and maintaining vehicle fleet management relationships because of the lucrative payoff that can come from large volume orders. Automotive fleet prices are considerably cheaper than the retail equivalent. With the extensive choices available in today's market, a knowledge of manufactures incentives and options can often mean the difference between selecting one brand over another. The management of automotive fleet vehicles is a specialized area of knowledge and companies that have large vehicle pools often employ an automotive vehicle manager or outsource to a company that specializes in automotive fleet services.

The management of an automotive fleet pool requires extensive vehicle knowledge. That's why companies employ dedicated personnel who are trained to deal with the complexities of large automotive fleet management requirements. Individuals who work in automotive fleet management are expected to have awareness of automotive technology, car care, engine maintenance, servicing requirements, insurance requirements, and have skills and experience to coordinate the purchase and disposal of automotive fleet vehicles. This includes interpersonal and administrative skills to submit tender proposals, procure necessary supplies and maintain relationships with car dealerships. Extensive expertise in the area of taxation and financing to save costs can assist in improving a companies bottom line.

In some cases, companies outsource to automotive fleet companies who have specialized management knowledge, can tailor a program to meet your specific company needs thereby reducing the cost and eliminating the stress of managing large car pools. Specialised car fleet management companies can assist with organization, budgeting, materials and supplies used in motor vehicle fleet acquisition, utilization, maintenance and repair, revenue control of parking facilities and administration of contracts and agreements. This includes extensive knowledge of taxation requirements and an awareness of current financing rates. Motor fleet management companies often have superior networks and relationships in place that offer the customer the opportunity to trade their vehicle, sell under consignment or auction so as to maximize return. Auto fleet management companies also have the advantage of securing volume discounts on ancillary car services such as insurance, servicing and fuel which results in direct life cycle cost savings to the outsourcing company.
